Howerton Eye Clinic Blog

Dr. Howerton, Deborah, Linda, Theresa and Shawn hit the Windy City for "The Eye Convention" 2008 did not disappoint. The city itself was great and warmed to 68! But the sights made up for the cold.

Most important was the knowledge and the enthusiastic attitude that Dr. Howerton and the staff returned to Austin . New equipment bought included the IOL Master, surgical instruments and the updated Nidek status. Everyone was buzzing about the incredible opportunity the upgrade on the Nidek will offer to the Lasik world. The most difficult cases seem doable. The research was the talk of the convention. This machine is topographically guided and is truly an individual treatment. It has received FDA approval just working on the wording.

Also, kudos to Shawn she did 3, that is right 3 presentations at ASOA. There was standing room only in her talks. Also, she was semi stalked with people wanting to pick her brain.

Theresa has great pictures and hopefully we can get her to share. Next year is in San Francisco but they are really going to have to get their act together to upstage the Chicago experience.

I mean what can I say, LASIK has changed the way I live my life.

I was constantly in a debate to between wearing my glasses, wearing contacts or risking it and going with my horrible vision.

The Howerton Eye Center changed all of that. I now do whatever I want, when I want to and the last of my worries is my site. I don’t have to make a decision between sunglasses or glasses, swimming or hanging out on the boat.

I want to be able to tell you that I battled through the recovery, finally found my way to good site but there’s no need to lie.

I was up and at it in a couple of hours. I had a couple of follow-up appointments that flew by with the good folks at Howerton.

As a former athlete who has been under the knife more than a few times, this waqs by far the easiest to prepare for, manage through and recover from.

I wonder why I waited so long now.
